1) The appliance works correctly if the water pressure is not lower than 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar). If you

cannot connect the water inlet hose to the cold water tap of the primary hydraulic system, connect

it to your domestic cold water storage system. Make sure not to exceed a distance of 5.02 m (16.5

ft) between the appliance inlet hose and the bottom of the water storage tank.

2) Connect the water inlet hose to a water tap with a 3/4'' thread.

Installation Warning! Refer to Safety chapters.

Unpacking 1. Open the door. Remove all the items from the drum.

Information: Accessories delivered with the appliance may vary depending on

the model.

2. Put the packaging element on the oor behind the appliance and carefully put it

down onto its rear side. Remove the polystyrene protection from the bottom.

Caution! Do not lay washing machine on its front.

3. Put the appliance back into an upright position. Remove the power supply cable

and the drain hose from the hose holders.

Information: It is possible to see water owing from the drain hose. This is

because the washing machine has been tested at the factory.

4. Remove the three transit bolts and pull out the plastic spacers.

Information: We recommend that you keep the packaging and the transit

bolts for any transport of the appliance.

5. Put the plastic caps, that you nd in the user manual bag, in the holes.

Information for

installation

Positioning and levelling

Adjust the appliance correctly to prevent vibration, noise and movement of the

appliance when it operates.

1. Install the appliance on a at hard oor. The appliance must be levelled and stable.

Make sure that the appliance does not touch the wall or other units and there is air

circulation below the appliance.

2. Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. All feet must rest rmly on the oor.

Warning! Do not put cardboard, wood or equivalent materials below the appliance

feet to adjust the level.

The inlet hose

Caution! Make sure there is no damage to hoses and there are no leaks from the

couplings. Do not use an extension hose if the inlet hose is too short. Contact the

service centre for a replacement inlet hose.

1. Connect the water inlet hose to the back of the appliance.

20º20º

45º45º

2. Position it toward left or right depending on the positon of the water tap. Make

sure that the inlet hose is not in vertical position.

3. If necessary, loosen the ring nut to set it in the correct position.

4. Connect the water inlet hose to the cold water tap with 3/4'' thread.

Warning! The inlet water shall not exceed 25 °C.

Water drainage

The drain hose should stay at a height of no less than 60 cm and not more than 100

cm.

Information: You can extend the drain hose to maximum 400 cm. Contact the

authorised service centre for the other drain hose and the extension.

It is possible to connect the drain hose in different ways:

1. Make a U shape with the drain hose and put it around the plastic hose guide.

2. On the edge of a sink - Fasten the guide to the water tap or to the wall.

Information: Make sure that the plastic guide cannot move when the appliance drains

and the drain hose end is not immersed in the water. There may be a return of dirty

water into the appliance.

3. If the end of the drain hose looks like this (see the picture), you can push it

directly into the stand pipe.

4. To a stand pipe with vent hole - Insert the drain hose directly into a drain pipe.

Refer to the illustration.

Information: The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated , i.e. the inner

diameter of the drain pipe (min. 38 mm - min. 1.5") must be larger than the external

diameter of the drain hose.

5. Without the plastic hose guide, to a sink spigot- Put the drain hose in the spigot

and tighten it with a clamp. Refer to the illustration.

Make sure that the drain hose makes a loop to prevent particles going into the

appliance from the sink.

Connect the drain hose to the spigot and tighten it with a clamp. Make sure that the

drain hose makes a loop to prevent particles going into the appliance from the sink.

6. Position the hose directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room wall and tighten it

with a clamp.

Installation on

suspended ooring

Suspended wooden oors are particularly susceptible to vibration.

To limit vibration we recommend placing a waterproof wooden panel, at least 15 mm

thick, under the appliance. It should be screwed to at least 2 oor beams and should

extend beyond the front feet.

If possible, install the appliance where the oor is more stable.

Electrical connection At the end of installation you can connect the mains plug to the mains socket.

The rating plate and the 'Technical Data' chapter indicate the necessary electrical

ratings. Make sure that they are compatible with the mains power supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required,

also taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the appliance to an earthed socket.

The power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the appliance.

For any electrical work required to install this appliance, contact our Authorised

Service Centre.

The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage or injury through

failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

Control panel

Special features Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for an effective treatment

of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption and proper care of

fabric.

•The UltraCare technology has been designed to protect the fabric bres thanks

to different pre-mixing phases that dissolves rst the detergent and then fabric

softener in the water before they are distributed in the laundry. So every bre is

reached and cared for.

• The steam has a quick and easy way to refresh the clothes. The gentle steam

programmes remove odours and reduce creases in dry fabrics so they need little

ironing.

The Steam nish option, nishes every cycle with gentle steam that relaxes the

bres and reduces fabric creasing. Ironing will be easier!

•Thanks to the Extra soft option, the fabric softener is uniformly spread out in the

laundry and deeply penetrates the fabric bres favouring a perfect softness.

•The SensiCare System detects the laundry load size dening the programme

duration in 30 seconds. The washing programme is tailored to the laundry load

and the type of fabric without consuming more time, energy and water than

necessary.
